For a RED map:
This is caused by the Terrain Overlay. In Plan Mode, your map will be tinted to show terrain based on your highest planned cruise altitude (if you haven’t set an altitude, everything will be tinted red). In Fly Mode, the map is tinted according to your current GPS altitude. Terrain within 1500′ to 500′ will be tinted yellow, whereas terrain 501′ to above will be tinted red.
- Tap En Route to view your map.
- Tap the Map Settings button (two gears icon, top right corner of screen)
- Un-tick Terrain Overlay
- Your map should return to normal
